The PA of the Americas is a platform for our members from the Americas to support regional cooperation and to strengthen the political voice of the PA within the Americas.

Mutual support in electoral campaigns; solidarity actions for members and allies; strengthening democracy and fighting populism; challenges of digital capitalism and the future of work; tackling inequality and promoting gender equality; natural resources, extractive industries and their impact on the countries of the Americas are key topics of the future work.
